Do they know the NHS is at crisis point?,do they know that @SteveBarclay and @RishiSunak is playing chicken with our lives?,watching the Government do nothing! literally nothing to avert this impending crisis in the NHS is of no consequence to them,the #CostOfLivingCrises is of
No interest maybe they know like us it's actually a #CostofGreedCrisis.
Why won't they hold this Government to account?,why do they avoid the important issues,maybe, just maybe they are closer than they would like us to know and understand,who knows.

🕊 Democracy is a precious & essential part of our society. Our leadership must always be accountable to the people, & if they are not, we risk oppression. We are, without a doubt, lucky to live in a liberal representational democracy, & when the time comes to vote, we should.
So why then, are people acting politically, with Civil Resistance, outside of this mechanism?
